My job share story:

A quick-start guide to job sharing—plus the highs, lows, and breakthroughs of my own journey—so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re wondering what job sharing is exactly and how it works, you’re in the right place.

When I first discovered job sharing, I had no roadmap. No guide. Just a bold vision of creating a life where I could thrive in my career and be present for my family. What followed was a journey filled with wins, setbacks, lessons learned the hard way, and ultimately, a work-life revolution that changed everything.

In this special reintroduction episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my job share story—the reality of navigating this innovative work model on my own and the hard-earned insights that fuel my passion to make job sharing easier for YOU.

In Episode 35, I DIVE INTO:

• How I went from career burnout in a 24/7 industry to nearly a decade of thriving in job shares.
• The tough lessons I learned pioneering my own four job share partnerships—without a roadmap.
•  Why job sharing isn’t just a work solution—it’s a game-changer for equality in caregiving, mental load, and career progression.
•  The inspiration behind founding Work Muse: so you can bypass the struggles I faced and create a successful job share with training, implementation, and support.
